My goal was to go get dry goods, Kleenex,soap,cleaners,tissue paper, etc and I did and I am done with Walmart for a month....
Be more patient with myself and others.
Stay under my calorie limit.
Prepare dinner for the entire family tonight because my daughter has a faculty meeting after school.
Get some kind of exercise in this afternoon.
Stay focused and motivated.
Encourage my husband to keep fighting his battle with severe RA and help him accept his limitations as it progresses.
Keep smiling and be thankful because others have it so much worse than I do!1 -
@jjlewey BTW thanks for inspiring me to up my step count. I used to do about 5000/day and look at your posts in wonder, thinking I couldn't do all that walking.
Glad I could help in a little way, congrats on dropping down to the 200's. Reading about you doing that inspires me to reapply and keep up the fight myself.3 -

I dont know how you keep your calories that low, I can go at 2200ish for a few days then I need a higher day. Most the time I try to stay in the 2500-2800 category2 -
Day 1 - got a good deficit and did 10k+ steps
Day 2 - got another decent deficit and did 10k+ steps
Day 3 - try again for the same but haven't walked to work so need to get to the gym today

Found myself messing with some stuff on my phone to get latest audiobook sorted on my Alexa about half hour before bed as I listen to it whilst I am getting ready for bed, otherwise doing quite well with goals so far this week.

I try to eat smaller meals and snack only when I'm hungry. Yesterday was lower than usual for me (1800-2000) as I had a salad at lunchtime. I used to feel more hungry during the day but over time I became used to eating less.
(my food logs are public if you feel like taking a gander, though I feel like you're more wondering how I get by eating less than what specifically I'm eating)

It's just interesting to me what people use for goals, especially ones who have had sustained success. I started back in July trying to stay under 2500 calories. While I could do that, I did feel a little stressed after awhile. More recently I set my goal at less than 3000. If I am smart and diligent about meal prepping/planning it is easy to stay under my goal. Thanks for sharing @merph5182 -

Keep in mind you need less calories as you lose weight and you also have an extremely active job so what will work for @merph518 at his weight and activity level will be too little for you right now.1 -
I changed my weight loss goal from 2 pounds a week to 1.5 so I would get a few more calories and not feel stressed or deprived....the crazy thing is, since I changed it, I have not eaten my max calories! SMH....I guess I just needed to know I could have more if I wanted them......jjlewey I like food....I stretch mine out so it looks like more....I use a smaller plate and if I simply spread it out, it seems like I am getting more...I also have little snacks all day...I love the new Sargento Balanced Breaks....enough protein,sweet and salty in them to satisfy...0

All good apart from the phone yesterday, was late home anyway because of rowing, so was only in about half hour before bed.

It's almost always psychological
when it's over your "budget" you want it, when you have the budget you don't need it.
It's like when I go shopping when I am strapped for cash I see loads of stuff I would love to buy, when I have the money spare, I see nothing I want.2 -
Today we are celebrating my oldest 2 sons birthdays. October 2nd and October 3rd, they are 23 and 21 this year. They want to go to a local pizza place and sports bar for a family dinner. My goal is to stay within my tdee maintenance calories today.4
